Clement Manyathela, standing in for Joanne Joseph, spoke to founder Sibongakonke Khumalo to find out more about the business.

Peppers Culinary School is a school that I started in 2013 and the whole point of it is to teach helpers how to cook in the home because we thought people need to have wholesome meals and not a lot of people have time to come back home and cook. We thought, let's come in and give them accredited certification.

Khumalo says while they are able to deliver meals under Level 4 of the lockdown, they have been affected badly.

It has impacted quite badly in that business has been less, there has been less appointments and so forth.
